Kushan replacements?

[Seth Karlo]

So, after quite a few scrapped ideas and a lot of doodles, I came up with a LF and a HF replace for the horrible Kushan imports we have now. I can also make a bomber with this idea, and have some ideas on touching up the HF, as I just added a couple of fins at the moment.

Was just wondering what people thought really...

Light Fighter:





Heavy Fighter (Not yet finished)







Constructive criticism welcome!

...They look cute, can I pet them?

Well, I think the light fighter looks very civilian-ish, and if the heavy fighter got a few wings and a texture it could be great.

There isn't enough detail in either of them, right now they're just manipulated primitives. Its a base, but it needs a lot more work before I can say much.

Edit: I don't really like the shape, but eh, also hit f9.

Aye, I made the base first, adding detail now. Just wondered if the shape was any good to be honest.

the shape itself is nice - but the sizing is a problem. - these shisp look like they have a very small bridge instead of a cockpit. - so they look like tiny gunships rather than fighters.

certainly worth working on it though.

Didn't Sasaki already do these? What happened to him? I have his models in .3ds format if anyone wants a go at texturing them.

From rear view the tails look ok...but from side view they dont realy fit with the rest of the ship imo...and the cockpit looks -as Jinx said - like a gunboat bridge.

Not fond of the fins on top (too curvey and don't really fit), but the rest is a solid base to work from. It's a bit rough, but it's a step in the right direction. The heavy fighter needs to use something other than a couple of fins on it to distinguish it from the LF. a blocky extension from the bottom, perhaps? Widening of the read exhausts and wings?
